Global TriClub Rankings

The annual TriClub Global Rankings provide registered IRONMAN TriClubs a way to measure their race performance against other TriClubs enrolled in the program.

TriClub points are calculated using IRONMAN’s age group ranking system. Any time an athlete races for their club at either an IRONMAN or IRONMAN 70.3 they generate age group ranking points for themselves as well as their TriClub. But unlike the age group ranking system where an athlete’s top three race performances are scored, TriClub points are cumulative over the course of a calendar year. The more a TriClub member races with IRONMAN, the greater number of points are credited to the clubs ranking.

Clubs are divided into club divisions based on the size of the club. For more information regarding the division sizes, division criteria, or accumulated points please email triclub@ironman.com.

Clubs can verify the points they have earnt by checking the rankings.

TriClub Ranking Points System

Using the Age Group Ranking Points system (AGR); the total available points for a full-distance IRONMAN is 5,000 points and for an IRONMAN 70.3 is 3,500 points.

AGR points are calculated based on the athlete’s race finish time behind the first finisher in his/her age group. Points continue to drop as the race time increases, until the points reach a "point floor," at which point they don’t drop any further and every athlete after this will receive the value of the “point floor.” For a full-distance IRONMAN the “point floor” is 1,000 points and for an IRONMAN 70.3 the “point floor” is 700.

There is a value to the minutes and seconds in each race distance. For a full-distance IRONMAN points diminish at a rate of approximately 12 points per minute and for an IRONMAN 70.3 points diminish at a rate of approximately 18 points per minute.

Example: If you win your age group at an IRONMAN event, you are awarded 5,000 points. If you finish in second place a minute behind the leader, you are awarded 4,988 points.
